Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle said Wednesday that presidential candidate Hillary Rodman Clinton is not the person to fight the big oil companies to keep gas prices down.

While regular people are getting gouged at the pump, oil companies are making record profits and CEOs are making absolute record salaries,” Doyle said at a news conference at candidate Barack Obama’s Raleigh field office.

Global ‘mourning’? ‘Earth-related mental illness’ said to be on the rise! You really can’t make this up.

Junk Science: The Global Warming Bubble What will Al Gore say?

And some folks think that elections are the silly season.

Vicki McKenna is the rock star of radio. She had Roy Innis on her show in Madison on Wednesday afternoon. You can hear the interviewhere.

Charlie Sykes told me last week when I attended his event at the Country Springs in Waukesha that he would schedule Roy Innis on his show on Thursday.

Eric Von called me back and said it would be great to have Roy Innis on his show Thursday afternoon.

Roy Innis, one of the true icon’s in the Civil Rights movement was in Wisconsin on behalf of Americans for Prosperity and gave testimony on Wednesday afternoon in Madison at the Governor’s Task Force On Global Warming.

Both his testimony and his interview with Vicki McKenna can be found here.

When Mr. Innis called Eric Von on Thursday afternoon he was told that because of technical difficulties only in-studio interviews could take place - Mr. Innis had a plane to catch and could only do a interview by phone.

When confirming the Thursday in-studio interview with Charlie Sykes we were told that the interview would not take place.

Perhaps this is why Vicki McKenna is the rock star of radio - and the common person. She Did The Right Thing.

During Roy Innis’s two days in Wisconsin he repeatly referred to the goodness in the American people. He sincerely feels - and so do I - that we all want to Do The Right Thing.

He spoke of a movie The Long Walk Home that depicted what he lived with in the civil rights movement. The fact was that people in the south did not believe in segregation, Jim Crow laws, the actions of the Klu Klux Klan but did not speak out because they felt that was not The Right Thing To Do.

He related this experience to what we are living with today with the environmental extremist claiming the world is coming to an end because of global warming. He feels that once the good people of America - he calls them the common folk - learn the truth that they will Do The Right Thing and demand the elected officals examine the consequences of their actions. The fact is the common folk are the ones that will bear the brunt of the economic policies that may be forthcoming with the one sided debate of Global Warming.

He knows the good folk will Do The Right Thing - if they know what The Right Thing is.

That’s our job.
